American living in Gothenburg

Anyone else?

Hey I was wondering if anyone from the US lived here in Göteborg? How long have you lived here? and what state are you from? I've been here about a year, and I'm curious to how many Americans are here.

Hello and welcome to the Local! I'm an American, originally from Upland, California and I've been living in Sweden for about four years. I've been in Gothenburg for the last year and a half. Whereabouts in Gothenburg do you live? Myself and the other members of "Team Gothenburg" (comprised of English speaking expats/immigrants living in this fair city) regularly get together for beers at one of the local pubs. It would be great to have you come along for one of these events, if you're up for it.

Welcome aboard. In my more than five years living in the Göteborg area, I have only come across three other Americans in person. This past summer my family and myself spent a month in NYC where I was born and worked for 20 years. In 2004 or 2005 I was taken by friends to the Stars and Bars pub in Majorna(or around there), I was told it was an American bar, not for nothing but I was the only American. The wife and I rarely make it out to the bars in Göteborg and instead have lots of fun with our Finnish,Swedish, and Danish friends close to home. Lots of luck to you. If you attend one of the Göteborg meetups perhaps my wife and I will consider coming in to welcome you in person.

Been here a little over 7 years. Came as an expat and decided to make it home. Grew up mainly in Southeast - Florida and Carolinas. There's always a few American expats in Gothenburg. I have contact with a few at Volvo and thru a local english speaking church. Let me know if you plan anything and I can forward to a few of them.

Another American here...from Connecticut. I've been here about a month and half, but I lived here for a year a while back. I know about 4 other Americans here. I think there are a lot more than you would think...I keep hearing American English randomly around town.

I am also a fellow American who just moved to Gothenburg about 3 weeks ago. I am self-employed, living here with my boyfriend who is finishing his second year at Chalmers. Needless to say, I know no one and would be very interested in any meetups!

I've got two Yankee friends here, one from Charleston in South Carolina, and one from Vermont.

Correction, your friend from South Carolina, is not a Yankee and if he has his roots in the South would (or at least should) be just as insulted as an Irishman who was called English would be. He is a Rebel or a Southerner, take your pick.
